Obituary
Doris was born on January 28, 1942, in Camden, N.J. She left to be with the Lord on Tuesday, February 23, 2016. Doris had a gentle, beautiful spirit and we were all blessed to have her presence in our lives. Teachers in the Fountain Valley School system, where Doris worked at Fulton Middle School, would tell you she was always a “Jersey” girl; sassy and fun-loving with a deep impact on all who knew her and her love of life.
Doris was drum majorette for the Audubon Bon-Bons all girl drum and bugle corps based in Audubon, New Jersey. It is no surprise to anyone who knew Doris that she led and competed in the only all-girl drum and bugle corp. in the United States at that time. Even after leaving the Bon-Bons, Doris used “The Audubon Kid” as her official internet handle. She remained dedicated and loyal to Audubon, NJ all of her life.
Doris will be deeply missed by all of her family and friends. She gave us all a true example of courage, grace and love. Doris lost her battle with COPD, and the family requests that any donations be made to The American Lung Association for continued research to cure this deadly disease.
Doris is survived by her loving husband, Bill, and her five children, Mary Ellen Russell, Debora Ann McCann, William T. McCann, Jr., Diana Ruth Viguri and Jennifer Lynn McCann. She believed her legacy lay with her grandchildren, Eli and Quinn McCann, Erin June McCann, Kaitlyn Faith Viguri, and Ashlyn June McCann.
We say goodbye to our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend – until we meet again.
Church services will be held at Holy Spirit Catholic Church located at 17270 Ward Street, Fountain Valley, CA, on March 3, 2016 at 3 PM. All are welcome to come and celebrate Doris’ life with us.

This is our first Mother’s Day without our precious Mom. I just can’t believe how difficult this day feels and it is not even here yet. I will, however, honor your life and spirit always Mom. You are missed so deeply here on earth! But, wow, how lucky is heaven to have such an amazing angel. The Audubon kid is up there having the time of her life with her Mom and sister and anyone and everyone else she can find! This will be the most difficult Mother’s Day ever, Mom, but your love and presence will be with all of us on this most special day. You are the light in my life, always have been…always will be. I love you so much and I pray that you will feel and know how much we all miss and love you on Mother’s Day 2016. Your loving daughter, Deb

:heart: Dedicated to U Mom… :heart:
Another Mother’s Day is here
And I still miss so much having you near
You are the best mom that could ever be
And I never once doubted your deeo love for me
Having you as a Mom life’s greatest gift
Happiness freedom and JOY for you my greatest wish
I know you believed in me and through the tough times ILL remember this
I know would break your heart to see me in pain and agony
I will try to put on a brave face for all around me to see
I could spend each Mother’s Day in sorrow
Crying and wishing you were here
But instead I choose to celebrate your life
A life I hold so DEAR
So Mom I say cheers I salute you
You taught us in life there’s nothing we couldn’t do
You are so wise I want you to know to your words I Did listen
Thank you for all the great advice a caring ear and a lifetime of wisdom
Because of the faith you have instilled in ME
We will be together again of this I BELIEVE
For now your smile your laugh your love
Live in my memory
I know you live in my heart I feel you even though I can’t see
The bond that we share is there for ALL eternity
I know you’d rather see me smile
Than stand here with tears in my eyes
So I’ll do my best to honor your memory
And you’ll live on as long as I am ALIVE
